Chapter 22
The Taste of Honey
Although the climb was quite easy to begin with it quickly turned to a more rocky scramble, so in case she missed her footing and needed support I let Hanna go first. Of course that also gave me the opportunity to enjoy the sight of her bottom moving beneath her skirt, and with that and the slowly expanding view of the surrounding sea beneath us, I was more than perfectly content.
Although the little island was probably no more than a few hundred metres high the track wound circuitously around it and so it took us the best part of an hour to get to the top. But the view from there was more than worth the effort it had taken and for a few minutes we stood there in silence, turning slowly as we took it all in. In one direction was the island we had left a couple of hours earlier, its rocky outline blurred by the increasing heat haze. In another the start of a string of similar islands, then a vast expanse of almost glassy sea, its surface only broken here and there by a variety of large and small ships and boats heading in many different directions.
'What a view!' Hanna said softly. 'I'm so glad we came up here, and that we seem to have it to ourselves.' she added looking around the rocky outcrop.
'Dimitri said that other than a few locals not many people make the effort. But now how about some refreshments? It looks as though those were left where they are for just that purpose.' I said, pointing to a few flat-topped slabs of rock that had been moved to make a couple of rough benches beside the light-house.
'A very good idea darling.' she replied, moving towards them.
Until then we had felt hardly any wind, just the slow, almost sluggish movement of the air around us, but just as Hanna lifted one leg over the rock she was about to sit on, as though called up by some mischievous sprite, there was a sudden, quite powerful gust. As it blew past us it caught the free end of her wrap-around skirt and whisked it momentarily waist high, and in the second or two that it hung there I had a completely unobstructed view of the full length of one leg, right up to her crotch. Although brief the view was long enough for me to see the dark triangle of hair, and to realise that she hadn't put the bottom half of her swim suit back on after our activities in the boat.
As she tugged her skirt back down she looked up and saw from the expression on my face that I had seen her partial nakedness. 'Oh la la, I seem to have been a little forgetful.' she said with a cheeky grin.
'A charming trait, and a lovely surprise.' I said, sitting down on a rock opposite to her. 'Now I have two wonderful views to choose from. But first, some refreshments.' I added, opening the bag Dimitri had provided.
Inside it were a couple of plastic containers, two bottles of chilled fruit juice, some figs and serviettes. 'There don't seem to be any cups.' I said, handing one of the bottles to Hanna.
'I can get my lips around you, so I should have no problem coping with the neck of a bottle Mac.'
'But hopefully the contents will be more refreshing.' I replied with a smile as I began opening the containers.
The larger of the two was segmented and held some biscuits, goat's cheese and olives, the other contained half a dozen small squares of my favourite Greek delicacy, baklava. For the next few minutes we replenished the energy the climb had taken out of us, munching and drinking in silence. But although it may have seemed that I was concentrating on the tingling flavours of the cheese and olives, I was in fact also recalling the all too brief glimpse I'd had, the suggestive comment Hanna had made, and becoming all too aware that doing so was making something other than my taste buds prickle.
Having emptied the first container I used the lid of the other one as a plate and divided the baklava between us, relishing the sweetness of the dripping honey, which tasted all the sweeter after the salty tang of the other things we had eaten.
'You obviously like honey.' Hanna said as she watched me carefully licking each of my fingers.
'Mmm, I love it in, or on anything, I always have. When I was a kid I was forever getting into trouble from Mum for nicking it by the spoonful.'
'So would you like to lick mine too?' she said, extending her hand towards me.
'With pleasure.' I replied, moving to sit alongside her. Of course having licked and sucked the stickiness from her fingers I had to do the same to her lips, then swirled my tongue around inside her mouth for any remaining traces.
'Very thorough.' she said with a giggle when we broke for air. 'But there is still some left in the bottom of the box, if you would like that too darling.'
I nodded and reached for it, but she was quicker than I was. 'No, let's see if we can make it more interesting, for both of us.' she said cryptically. 'Just move back a bit please.'
